I have a problem with one of the brake lights on this vehicle. It has about 30,000 miles on it. When the vehicle is running, the left rear brake light will not go on when the brake pedal is depressed. As soon as my foot goes off the brake pedal, the brake light goes on. When the car is not running, the brake light works okay. I have replaced the bulb for the brake light. I have changed the fuse for the brake light. Still have the problem. Any ideas? Thanks. Alonso |

Alonso, I am thinking you have a bad ground in the circuit for that light. Things often get fouled up when trailer wiring is installed, or if the car has been in an accident. Try to wiggle as many wires as you can get your hands on and try to follow them to make sure there is no damage to the wiring, and if there are any ground wires coming off of the harness, make sure they have good, tight connections. Next, you may want to look at the wiring and switch that turn the light on, which I would imagine would be on the brake pedal, but who knows these days. Beyond these obvious things, you'll probably need an automotive electrician to test the circuit.

I have a 2000 LS2 and both of the rear light sockets were replaced because of corosion. I got the idea from the dealer that this is a known problem.
